- PROMETHEUS
Quite possibly the most anticipated science-fiction film of
the summer, Prometheus, is gearing up for release in June. Director Ridley
Scott gave an exclusive interview with Empire Magazine detailing the long-running
issue with the rating of the film and why he returned to sci-fi.
As soon as filming began, fans have been wondering as to
what the film will be rated. When Scott was asked about an update on his
thoughts towards a rating, he answered: "The question is, do you go for
the PG-13, [which] financially makes quite a difference, or do you go for what
it should be, which is R? Essentially, it's kinda R. It's not just about the
blood, it's about ideas that are very stressful. I'm not an idiot, but I'll do
everything I can to get the most aggressive film I can."
Though the Alien films continued without Scott's
involvement, he could not understand why they didn't go to the next logical
step: "I always wondered when they did [Aliens] 2,3 and 4 why they hadn't
touched upon that, instead of evolving into some other fantastic story. They
missed the biggest question of them all: who's the big guy [Space Jockey]? And
where were they going? And with what? Why that cargo? There's all kinds of
questions."
Hopefully, come June 8th, all the questions will be
answered. Prometheus is definitely one of the must watch films of the year!
